Where is everyone #2!!

On us 54 in Pittsfield, IL. Should have about 400 miles tomorrow. Today kinda sucked, but tomorrow will be better, I think.

 

Parked at the scale Ron?
Heading East IIRC? If not, give me a shout, we live right off 54 just South of Kingdom City mate.

At the pizza hut actually. No I'm headed to KS from Oshkosh but couldn't run IA because of the weight issue. should be by you in time for breakfast. Is the new truck already to roll?

 

I went and got steel and aluminum to make brackets etc today, as well as the flooring for inside the truck.
Have a generator to mount, ac to figure out, power to run to inside the truck, battery charger to hook up to batteries with a cutoff switch, hardwood flooring to put inside, strobes to make brackets for and mount/wire, extending mirrors to modify and mount, then can start on general organizing etc. I hate moving trucks!
One of the boys had a ball game today, so went to that at @5:30 this afternoon
Too late to get anything done after that, so will be heading back out first thing in the AM to get it done as soon as possible.
Was hoping to head out Thursday to load Friday, but not gonna happen at this rate! Jake has a game out of town tomorrow evening too, so will be calling it pretty early tomorrow too.
Give me a call if you are heading down 54 through here mate, will tell you where to park and you can swing by for some food and coffee, if you have the time of course, as I know all too well how that goes!

With all that work to do you ain't goin truckin until next week.

 

Tis what I am thinking. Need to leave Sunday though for sure!
Had every other week off here lately. Between home time, INS requesting my attention, then finding the truck in Wa last week, it has been a pretty unproductive month or two! Pretty much been a week of work, then a week or two off, and repeat.

Yea, that would start to send the bank account into "you better get your ### back to work mode"

 

Williston, ND. Unload in the morning then bounce home 650 miles.

 

I wanted to inform you flatbedders that NY DOT are hiding inside the toll booths and writing seat belt violations....

Found out first hand yesterday, dot cop jumps out of the ez pass booth and tells me to pull onto the shoulder...he had his SUV hid behind the building as well.

Heard they used to do this up near Rotterdam but this was in Dunkirk.

 

Now that's sneaky
